Fans are just realising that Hades 2 answers the original game’s biggest unsolved mystery
HADES has received a huge number of accolades since its launch in 2020, including a Hugo Award for storytelling.
While the sequel was announced back in 2022, we have been waiting eagerly since then for a release date.
The team recently announced an open technical test for Hades 2 which anyone can sign up to.
Those chosen only started playing yesterday, but already the reception has been hugely positive.
However, it’s not just the how much they like the game that people are excited for, but also some big reveals about the first game.
One of the questions people were left wondering after the end of Hades was who the omnipresent narrator throughout the story was?
Those taking part in the technical test have finally been able to answer that question thanks to a surprising Easter egg.
Zagreus is the main protagonist of the original Hades, but now we have Melinoe in the main role.
Early on in the playtest Melinoe says: “Shush Homer. How shall I ever catch her if you’re going to describe my every move?”
The Homer she is of course referring to is the Greek poet best known for writing the Odyssey and the Iliad.
It’s a small Easter egg but it makes sense given how Homer often wrote about the Greek Gods.
We still haven’t seen a portrait for Homer, but the technical test only covers a very small area of the game so there could be one lurking later on.
